:18:02
That's that.
:18:04
You go to an awful lot of work
to keep a fella warm.
:18:07
Yes, sir.
:18:09
A Mr. Hallor to see you, sir.
:18:11
Hallor?
Don't let him in.
:18:13
Why not? Who's he?
:18:15
A lawyer representing a woman.
Some claim against the estate.
:18:18
If he has a claim, we'd better see him.
Send him in.
:18:22
He'll cause you a lot of trouble.
:18:25
How can he make trouble for me?
I haven't done anything.
:18:28
- l told you to take this up with me.
- I'm tired of being pushed around.
:18:31
I don't care
how important you are.
:18:33
- Mr. Deeds, l represent Mrs. Semple.
- Mrs. Semple?
:18:36
Your uncle's common-law wife.
She has a legal claim on the estate.
:18:39
- Suppose we let the courts decide--
- You wouldn't dare take this to court.
:18:43
I'll leave it to you.
:18:45
Would any court not be in sympathy with
a woman who gave up her best years...
:18:49
for an old man like your uncle?
:18:51
- What kind of wife did you say?
- Common-law wife.
:18:54
- On top of that, there's a child.
- Child? My uncle?
:18:57
- Yes, sir.
- That's awful.
:18:59
The poor woman should be
taken care of immediately.
:19:01
I'm glad to see you're
willing to be reasonable.
:19:04
If she was his wife, she should have
the money. l don't want a penny.
:19:07
Don't make any rash promises.
:19:09
Better go. That opera mob is about to
break into the mad song from Lucia.
:19:12
l don't wanna keep them waiting.
They're important people.
:19:15
- Very good, sir.
- l can't go down like this.
:19:18
l wish you'd go along with me, Cobb.
They're all strangers to me.
:19:21
- What about it, Mr. Deeds?
- Huh?
:19:24
Oh. You'll excuse me, won't you?
I'll be right back.
:19:34
Gee, I'm busy. Do the opera people
always come here for their meetings?
:19:37
- Uh-huh.
- That's funny. Why's that?
:19:39
Why do mice go
where there's cheese?
:19:43
I'm led to believe
the young man's quite childish.
:19:46
We won't have any difficulty
getting him to put up the entire amount.
:19:49
- After all, it's only $180,000.
- Excellent idea.
:19:52
We're very fortunate the young man
is so sympathetic toward music.
:19:56
He plays the tuba
in the town band.
